Hime,
Your post set off the alarm bells in my head!
If I am wrong please forgive me, I am concerned about your safety, as I am assuming you have not meet this person in-person before. If this is incorrect please disregard (its the dad in me
)
A few security thoughts…as opposed to flying - greyhound can be paid in cash, does not require an ID and there are no searches of people or baggage before boarding.
You need to
protect yourself first before you meet “in person” for the first time.
Some rules for “First In-Person Meetings” from Online relationships:
Rule 1: Keep your private information private. Don’t give out sensitive information that people can exploit, like your address and home phone number. If your dating partner is pushing you to give out information you should terminate the relationship immediately.
Rule 2: Don’t chat, mail or meet with people who are trying to push you into a meeting too early. These people may have other interests in you that you don’t expect.
Rule 3: You never really know who the person behind a dating profile really is, so it’s safer to make a background check before meeting the first time in person. Most
legitimate dating sites can provide you with information on companies or individuals who perform these background checks.
Rule 4: If you’ve decided to meet your dating partner face-to-face you should make sure you
meet in a public place with many other people around, you could even** ask a friend to to keep an eye on things from a safe distance**. The** safest time for a meeting is in the daytime**. Keep this in mind.
Remember…you never know who is truly on the other end of the internet connection, even if you have seen/spoken with them via a webcam.
Although their numbers have decreased, there are still perverts, psycho’s and criminals around and you need to make sure not to fall for one of their scams/traps.
I hope all goes well and you enjoy your visit!!!
Praying for you both!
